Vern Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 wondered if anyone could help, I have been struggling with playing this game on mu M1530 When I first installed and played it, the day I received my shiny new laptop, it was runnign smooth as you would like it to... no juddering and all was great. I re-installed the laptop (getting rid of all the Dell crap that comes with the standard factory pre-install), and updated the drivers to various of the modified versions I found here. It started to judder badly. So I reverted back to the Dell driver (downloaded from their site), it was better, but still juddering. I could set the settings to all High, or all low with the resolution set down a lot, and still juddering luike crazy... almost not playable. The framerates I get is still between 20 and 35 FPS, and still juddery. So dont think its down to framerates. Anyone... please help... P.S: Assassins creed, needs higher minimum specs, but runs absolutely fine... so I believe its not the card. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The stuttering is a known issue with GoW. I own the same system as yours and was able to run it nicely, using what is described at http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66597 . Hope that helps!

Vern Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I ahve also come accross the following... "There are several reports of STUTTERING in-game, this is easily fixed by modifying your WarEngineUserSettings.ini file located in: My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Config Just modify this line: OnlyStreamInTextures=FALSE Change FALSE to TRUE and the stuttering will be gone." ans the following... http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=15049 Hopefully something will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vern Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Finally got it working flawlessly after 3 weeks and 3 re-installs and countless drivers... this is what I did: 1) Navigate to - C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\My Documents\My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Config\ 2) Open WarEngineUserSettings.ini 3) Change OnlyStreamInTextures=FALSE to OnlyStreamInTextures=TRUE 4) Change OneFrameGPULag=TRUE to OneFrameGPULag=FALSE !!The above setting never effected the juddering (stuttering) independently, however when both are changed, it did the trick!! Do the same with the other file named DefaultEngineUserSettings.ini restart the game and it should be good. This was only done on my Laptop... The default settings are everything on medium settings except texture detail was on high. After this conffg. change, I set it all up to high, except shadows, and enabled DX10 with AA, and it was such a pleasurable experience without lag, stutter, judder ... Nothing! I hope that whoever has this problem gets it sorted, and enjoys the game the way it should be enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
